    Textbox Trouble

    I tried looking all over the web for the answer to this one. I have a textbox set to multiline and I want my end users to be able to select a portion of their text and change it to bold or italic etc.

    I have tried using the

    But when you change it nothing happens to the text box.

    I have rearched and found many articles for a rich text box, but I dont have that option on my userform toolbox, nor in the additional controls

    Hello rbyrd023,

    Unfortunately a standard Text Box, be it Forms or ActiveX, only allows for a single font style. You might want to use a Shape object as your text box. The users could edit the text and change colors, font styles, and sizes.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    By the way.... This is in a Userform, not on a worksheet.
